It doesn't get any more Patriotic than this, Linda! Absolutely Beautiful in every sense of the word! Your coloring details are Over-The-Top! Such depth~

My DH was in the navy over 26 years, so this card has such meaning to me~

OMgosh, Linda, this is so wonderful! Your water coloring is amazing (doesn't surprise me). I'm overwhelmed and can't find the words to tell you how special this is. Your veteran friend is going to be blown away by this art piece of art. Please give him a hug for me - I have a special place in my heart for veterans.
